Bonjour & Welcome! 🤍
 I’m Manon, French-born, California-based, and the founder of Maéva! ✨

Whether you’re new here or have been following since the early days, thank you! Your support truly means the world, and I’m so happy you’re part of this journey! I wanted to take a moment to (re)introduce myself!

Through Maéva, I create content that blends French-inspired style with the ease of coastal living! What started as simple style guides has grown into something much more personal. It’s become a space to share timeless outfit inspiration, my favorite brands, and everything that adds a little touche française and that je ne sais quoi to everyday life we all love!

This is the start of a new chapter, one where I’m finally speaking (literally!) in both Français & English. I can’t wait to keep growing with you! Thank you for being here!

With Amour, M.

What to Pack for the Mediterranean in Spring 🩵 featuring 15 coastal looks

Spring in the Mediterranean is such a beautiful time to visit, from espresso in a sunlit piazza in Italy, to seaside walks along the Riviera in the South of France, afternoons browsing local markets in Spain, and golden hour dinners overlooking the water in Greece or Portugal ✨ The weather can shift throughout the day, so thoughtful layers and versatile pieces make packing much easier!

For this capsule, I was inspired by the soft blues of the sea paired with timeless neutrals that mix effortlessly together. You can easily swap in your favorite colors, incorporate warmer tones, or replace lighter pieces like white linen with navy, beige, or other shades that feel most aligned with your personal style or travel plans. Even if you’re not traveling, these outfit formulas work beautifully as inspiration for a refined and versatile spring wardrobe 🤍

Packing notes for a Mediterranean spring:

-Build around a cohesive color palette -Choose breathable fabrics like cotton & linen -Bring layers for cooler mornings & evenings -Pack comfortable shoes for walking -Choose pieces that mix easily together -Leave room in your suitcase for special finds along the way

I’ve been loving how comfortable these sneakers are 🤍 perfect for errands, travel days, and walks! They feel classic but still elevated thanks to the warm neutral tones and subtle details!

I’ll definitely be bringing these with me when I head back to France, they pair so easily with denim, trousers, or even relaxed dresses 🤎

Sizing: I’m usually a US 7, but I went with my usual EU 37 in this style, EU 37 fits closer to a US 6–6.5 🫶

What to Pack for Spring in Paris 🤍 featuring 15 timeless looks

Spring in Paris is one of the most beautiful times to visit, the gardens begin to bloom, café terraces slowly fill back up, and the city comes alive again after winter ✨ But the weather can also be a little unpredictable, with sunshine, cooler mornings, and the spring shower all in the same day!

Dressing for spring in Paris is really about thoughtful layers, timeless pieces, and outfits that can easily adapt as the weather shifts throughout the day!

This capsule is built around versatile staples that mix effortlessly, creating 15 looks from the same core wardrobe pieces ✨ I focused on a neutral base so everything works easily together, but you can absolutely swap in your favorite colors and accessories to bring out your own personal style!

While it was designed with Paris in mind, the same pieces can work beautifully in other cities with similar spring weather, or simply as a base for a timeless everyday wardrobe!

Packing notes for spring in Paris:

-Check the forecast before packing
-Prioritize versatile layers
-Keep a small umbrella with you
-Plan footwear with the gardens & walking in mind
-Build around a cohesive color palette
-Choose pieces that mix easily together
-Leave a little room in your suitcase for shopping!

The French Hair Pin Updo, My Everyday Method 🤍

There are a few different techniques for a French hair pin updo, this is the one I use most often!

How I do it: - Brush hair back and keep it relaxed - Gather into a low pony shape - Twist upward and tuck the ends - Insert the pin close to the scalp and weave it straight down - Gently loosen for volume

Timeless, secure, and done in under a minute!

Pin I used linked her and on sale for $7.97!
